Abstract: We consider an arbitrary metric graph, to which we glue another graph with edges of lengths proportional to varepsilon, where varepsilon is a small positive parameter. On such graph, we consider a general self-adjoint second order differential operator mathcalHvarepsilon with varying coefficients subject to general vertex conditions; all coefficients in differential expression and vertex conditions are supposed to be analytic in varepsilon. We introduce a special operator on a certain graph obtained by rescaling the aforementioned small edges and assume that it has no embedded eigenvalues at the threshold of its essential spectrum. Under such assumption, we show that certain parts of the resolvent of mathcalHvarepsilon are analytic in varepsilon. This allows us to represent the resolvent of mathcalHvarepsilon by an uniformly converging Taylor-like series and its partial sums can be used for approximating the resolvent up to an arbitrary power of varepsilon. In particular, the zero-order approximation reproduces recent convergence results by G. Berkolaiko, Yu. Latushkin, S. Sukhtaiev and by C. Cacciapuoti, but we additionally show that next-to-leading terms in varepsilon-expansions of the coefficients in the differential expression and vertex conditions can contribute to the limiting operator producing the Robin part at the vertices, to which small edges are incident. We also discuss possible generalizations of our model including both the cases of a more general geometry of the small parts of the graph and a non-analytic varepsilon-dependence of the coefficients in the differential expression and vertex conditions.
